I was wondering if anyone has installed the Wilwood brake calipers and if so general impressions? I also was wondering about clearance. I actually have a Cougar (which I beleive is offset 46mm) with 16 inch rims and I am pretty sure the Wilwood's will not clear these wheels? On a side note I thought it was pretty cool when I was watching a NASCAR race last year I saw the calipers on one of the cars said Wilwood and looked very similar to what is offered to us. 1999 Cougar V6,MTX KKM,Keystone Wing, Dual Exhaust, Energy Susp.

Order the street pads asap. The race ready are very loud and obnoxious. -Andy Andy Watson '99 Silver SVT #2397\| DOB 07/29/99 Graci! American Iron Shoot Out - Event Promoter!
